[trail basin]

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Partials, SlashCommandBuilder, Routes } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages ], partials: [Partials.Channel]});
const { token } = require('./token.json');

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(token);

client.on('ready', () =>{
    console.log(client.user.tag + " is now online!");
})

const testSlash = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("test")
    .setDescription("Test")
    .addStringOption(option =>
        option
        .setName("option_1")
        .setDescription("option_1_desc")
        .setRequired(true)
        .addChoices(
            {name: "value 1", value: "value_1"},
            {name: "value 2", value: "value_2"},
            {name: "value 3", value: "value_3"}
        )
        );

const commands = [testSlash.toJSON()];

(async () =>{
    try {
        await rest.put(
            Routes.applicationGuildCommands("1021159357007802368", "940438220959789097"),
            { body: commands }
        )
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
});

client.on('interactionCreate', (interaction) =>{
    if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
        if (interaction.commandName == "test") {
            interaction.reply(interaction.options.get("option_1"))
        }
    }
})

client.login(token)

btw, you dont have to create a rest instance and a discord.js Client in the same file

you should have a separate script for deploying the commands

[trail basin]

im not that familiar with using module.exports

[radiant turtle]

what for

a separate script that you'd run separately

[trail basin]

ye

[radiant turtle]

you're supposed to only deploy your commands once

and then you'd run that script again when you make changes to the details of a command

description/options, etc

[trail basin]

i dont get it

[radiant turtle]

https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/creating-commands.html#command-deployment-script

its thoroughly explained here

[trail basin]

so this script runs separately

and it will be running constantly

[radiant turtle]

no

runs once, ever

[trail basin]

o

@radiant turtle Still doesn't

[radiant turtle]

i dont know what you did

[trail basin]

I ran the commands stuff as a separate file

then closed the terminal and ran the bot in a new terminal

[radiant turtle]

show that file

[trail basin]

const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes, SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./token.json');

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(token);

const testSlash = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName("test")
    .setDescription("Test")
    .addStringOption(option =>
        option
        .setName("option_1")
        .setDescription("option_1_desc")
        .setRequired(true)
        .addChoices(
            {name: "value 1", value: "value_1"},
            {name: "value 2", value: "value_2"},
            {name: "value 3", value: "value_3"}
        )
        );

const commands = [testSlash.toJSON()];

(async () =>{
    try {
        await rest.put(
            Routes.applicationGuildCommands("1021159357007802368", "940438220959789097"),
            { body: commands }
        )
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(error);
    }
});

[radiant turtle]

can you see the command in that guild

[trail basin]

nope

[radiant turtle]

add some debug listeners to the rest instance

rest.on("rateLimited", console.log).on("restDebug", console.log);

add that after the const rest = ... line

[trail basin]

ok

nothing

logged
